Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Our outreach truly spans generations: from high school students to their parents and guidance counselors to the generous Columbia alumni who dedicate their time as part of our Alumni Representative Committee (ARC). ARC members are Columbia ambassadors in all 50 states and dozens of countries, and while they hail from different professional backgrounds and graduation years, all have a desire to share their Columbia experience with prospective students. ARC members help the Office of Undergraduate Admissions by interviewing applicants, representing Columbia at local college fairs and hosting regional programs for admitted students, so that as many students as possible have the opportunity to learn about the unique Columbia experience firsthand.

This alumni section serves as a portal for the ARC Online website, through which we communicate with our alumni and coordinate the interviewing of thousands of students each year. 

To access ARC, please log-in to ARC Online:

Few things make our office prouder than to see the active involvement of so many alumni. I invite you to explore this alumni section and take advantage of the resources and opportunities available here. On our new site you have access to one-page documents to help you navigate different aspects of ARC Online, including how to utilize ARC Online and a list of questions frequently asked by students. Links to your right include pdf files of our current admissions publications for you to read, print out, or just peruse as you learn more about Columbia’s current success and exciting future.

We thank our veteran ARC members for their help and welcome all our new and perspective members. We look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely yours,

Jessica Marinaccio
Dean of Undergraduate Admissions
